S1E04:Autism & ADHD Diagnosis: A Personal Story

This episode is Amber’s personal AuDHD diagnosis story. After years of feeling like she was constantly two steps behind everyone else, perpetually exhausted, and never quite fitting in anywhere, Amber shares how she came to seek an assessment, what the process actually looked like, and what happened in the aftermath. This is the real, unfiltered version not the neat narrative you get to write with hindsight, but the messy, confusing, emotional reality of realising late in life that your brain works fundamentally differently. If you’re on the path to diagnosis, have recently been assessed, or are still waiting, Amber’s story might help you feel a little less alone in it.
